Google Doodle today, June 25, marks the 75th anniversary of the publication of Anne Frank’s diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, one of the world’s most famous books. In 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl, the personal journal of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl of German descent hiding with her family from German occupation during World War II, was first published.
Anne Frank’s diary is considered one of the most powerful accounts of World War II survivors. To mark the occasion, today’s Google Doodle is a heartbreaking slideshow featuring sketches depicting parts of Anne Frank’s life as a Jewish teenager hiding in Holland from German occupation. It shows excerpts from his diary, which he wrote while hiding with his family from the Nazis.
Anneliese Marie Frank was a German-Dutch diary of Jewish tradition, she became posthumously known to the world as the most talked-about Jewish victim of mass murder, with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl in 1947. Ann received her diary as a birthday present and wrote in it regularly.
The diary records his life hidden in the German occupation of the Netherlands during most of World War II from 1942 to 1944. Today’s doodle shared sketches with information from his diary that revealed that the hiding place where Frank’s family lived was in his father Auto Frank’s office building.
On August 4, 1944, his family was arrested by the Gestapo and after their arrest, his family was taken to a concentration camp. Ann and her sister Margot were transferred from Auschwitz to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died a few months later.
Ann’s The Diary of a Young Girl, first published on June 25, 1947, has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and has been reproduced and translated into 67 languages, according to AFP.
